Every time I think I'm going to use airline points, I end up finding a rally great deal on airfare. . . I don't know if I'll ever spend a point. :(

Chase United card... is it worth a crap? Offer is for 30K United miles for $1000/3 mo with the $92 annual fee waved.
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

any idea on when that offer comes around? i met the spend on my freedom card and chase sent me an email to apply for united. is it worth a shot to go for another chase card now? its only been 2 months.

yeah, barclays is kind of sucky for customer service. amex and chase are BITB. citi isn't bad either but they have no idea what's going on.

Found out Mrs. CF3 has a credit score 30 points higher than mine.  Mine was lower because of lost library CD I never paid for and it went to collections. :shakesfist:

told sugar mama to try this on her new car and she also got mushed.  some dealers just won't do it, hard to blame them because it cuts into their profit.

What does everyone have planned for points travel over the next 12 months? I've got:

-Chicago with some bros in early September flying SW and staying 2 nights at an Embassey Suites
-4 Nights in NYC on an old AXON (RIP) Hilton award in early October flying United direct (paid one way and points the other)
-2 rooms for 2 nights in Tulsa in late Oct. at a Doubletree that's only 10k a night so I'm scared that it's going to be garbagey
-A night in Wichita at the Hyatt during XMas
-6 nights in Maui in May '14 staying at the new Andaz and flying 1st class on AA

somewhere in there I'll probably use points to drag mrs. dave along on a couple business trips. maybe use some marriott points for a couple nights at the Cosmo in Vegas or something. also have two Hyatt cat. 1-5 awards I have to burn before Mar. 2014 that I don't currently have a spot for. Not wasting them on a Wichita stay.
burning a shitload of southwest and hilton points and using the companion pass to take the whole family to FL for my boy's b-day next week.  other than that, nothing special.  I never usually plan trips more than a few months out though.  thinking about a trip to chicago with some friends in the next couple of months and maybe a trip to napa in the fall.  I'm sure I'll head to phoenix and/or LA at some point this winter when I can't stand the cold anymore.

one thing I did do was book friday and saturday night of every single cats home game at the sheraton with spg points.  only 3000/night are you rough ridin' kidding?  I'll only ever stay one night so I'll end up canceling a lot of them but what a great value!

Yeah, that MHK Sheraton isn't going to stay that cheap for long I'm afraid. Has anyone stayed there since the change?

I just booked all mine a couple weeks ago. I was surprised I was able to get a room on both nights for every game this close to the season. not sure who else has rooms but I started to book a couple nights through hilton (can't remember which hotel) but they have no cancellation and keep your points on football weekends. :sdeek:

Most of my redemptions come from airfare as I have odds and ends ways of getting hotels.  Need the intern to get us accredited though so I can get better deals and we can all party.

Flying GF's nephew to CO to hang out and party
Looking at heading to Austin for 'Cats game
Flying to Jamaica to stay at an all inclusive (will take recommendos on all-inclusives and fly somewhere else if people have pro-tips)

I think daris likes the hilton all-inclusive in negril. I suppose it depends on the rate though.
